Positionally or tactically?  The point of Bxe7 is that it turns out to
be aggressive as the devil, shredding black's king-side at the end of
the
PV, because it recovers the material on d6, but sacs the bishop on g5.
If
you don't like to attack, you might not like Bxe7 no matter what.  This
is
something I've been working on for several months now.  The score for
Bxe7
is only +.5 or so, which is not much better than other alternatives when
testing crafty...
